Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food

Impacts of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Act 2023: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Caroline Garvan:

I would not be able to tell the Deputy exactly what the percentage is, but what I can tell her is that 54% of vets are using it and 51% of practices are using it daily and weekly. Up to 80% of veterinary practices are engaged with the NVPS, so they are either using it or adapting their IT systems in order that they can use it. We are now at 80% usage, I would suggest, of NVPS. We have that other 20% to get to by 1 September. Our goal is to make sure that everyone is using it in order that we can support the prescriptions arriving to the retailers.
